Automatic Gear Shaft Control GSW2001

Automation system for shifting and testing of vehicle gearboxes directly at the selector shaft

The Automatic gear shaft control GSW2001 is an automation system for shifting and testing of vehicle gearboxes, consisting of an actuator with integrated synchronous motors and travel-sensoring system as well as the appropriate power- and signalling electronics. The GSW2001 is used for practice-oriented gearbox shifting in stationary power train test benches and for testing of gearboxes. A variety of software for gearbox testing is available as option.

Main features:

  • Electronically controlled, electro-mechnical system, self learning
  • 8 forward gears, 4 reverse gears, 1 idle position each can be stored in 32 data files
  • Programmable path motions with travel-dependant forceand speed setting.
  • Compensation of a centering error to the selector shaft
  • Max. translatory setting travel: ± 30mm (operating stroke) + 100mm (park position)
  • Max. rotatory setting angle: ± 130°
  • Max. translatory setting force: ± 1200N
  • Max. rotatory setting torque: ± 50Nm
    (± 500Nm on request)
  • Max. setting speeds: 1.6m/s referred to a virtual standard shift lever of 0.25m lengt or 0.23m/s for translation or 360°/s for rotation

Force measuring equipment

Most realistic gearshifting is feasible with the optional force measuring equipment, recognizing the rise in force at the synchronization point and a force-dependent passingthrough of the synchronizing range. Furthermore actual travel and force values are output as potential free analog voltages. After gear engagement the selector shaft, even when coupled, can be regulated by means of a software function that it is free of force. Thus it is possible to detect gear jumping and shift lever vibrations.

Shifting and selector force measuring

Shifting and selector force measuring by strain gauge force sensors which are integrated in the collet of the actuator. Thus the mass inertia of the actuator can be eliminated to a large extent.
